Plain Muffin made easy (Malaysian style)

Ingredients
2 cups all purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Method
Preheat oven to 205°C. In a mixing bowl, sieve together the flour, baking powder and salt, and then add the sugar. Form a well in the middle of the mixture.

In another bowl, gently beat the egg with a fork. Blend well with the milk and oil. Then pour the egg mixture into the well made in the flour mixture.

Gently fold the mixture until it just comes together – do not over mix. The batter should still be lumpy. Pour into greased muffin moulds and bake for 25 minutes until well-risen and golden brown in colour
